For beauty pros who travel to their clients

Deposits that stop your no-shows.
Appointment software for beauty pros.

Built for beauty pros who travel to their clients: iDEAL deposits on by default, a calendar that knows your travel zones and travel fee, and a booking page in your client's language - seven languages. No commission on your bookings.

30-day free trial · at signup you link your payment method with a €0.01 check payment · cancel anytime

Sound familiar?

This costs you time and money every week.

  1. You drove 90 minutes. No one answered the door.

    A no-show costs you half a workday: travel time each way, the blocked appointment slot, and the chance to book someone else in. At three a month that adds up to over €2,300 a year in lost revenue, travel time and product.

    pbw.life asks for a deposit at booking, following the rule you set. The appointment is only confirmed once it is paid.

  2. DMs, WhatsApp, phone calls: scheduling this way is chaos.

    You lose bookings in your inbox, have no weekly overview, and find yourself messaging late at night when you just want to sleep.

    Your own page at pbw.life/<your-name>. Clients book themselves, you're automatically confirmed.

  3. Asking for deposits feels like you don't trust your clients.

    Without a deposit, every appointment risks €50 to €120. With a verbal agreement, you have no legal standing.

    The booking asks for the deposit automatically, by iDEAL or another method you enable at Mollie or Stripe. You never have to bring it up yourself.

How it works

Three steps to getting paid.

From zero to your own booking page in under 10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Onboard in <10 minutes

    Add your services, duration and price. Connect your Mollie account for iDEAL payments. Set your deposit policy - a fixed amount or a percentage of the service price. Add your travel zones by postcode, with a travel fee per zone.

    30-day free trial · link your payment method with €0.01 at signup

  2. 2

    Share pbw.life/<your-name>

    Put the link in your Instagram bio, on Marktplaats, or in your WhatsApp status. Clients pick a time in their own language (seven languages), pay the deposit via iDEAL, and get an automatic confirmation.

    Works on any phone · no app required

  3. 3

    Receive payment - before the appointment

    The deposit hits your Mollie balance immediately. If there's a no-show, you keep the deposit. If they cancel last-minute, your policy kicks in. No more unpaid kilometres. Between appointments in different postcode areas your calendar automatically blocks out travel time.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know.

  • How exactly does the deposit work?

    When a client books via your page and your deposit rule applies, pbw.life automatically requests the deposit, by iDEAL or another payment method you enabled in your Mollie or Stripe account. The amount (which you set) lands directly in your own Mollie or Stripe account. If there's a no-show, you keep the deposit. On cancellation, pbw.life follows your cancellation policy automatically: if the client cancels in time, the deposit is refunded in full; if they cancel late and your policy retains it, you keep it. Money flows directly from the client to your IBAN - pbw.life takes nothing.

  • Can I cancel my subscription?

    Yes, you can cancel any time from your account settings. If you cancel during a paid period, you keep full access until the end of that period - after that your dashboard locks and your booking page stops taking new bookings. If you cancel during the free trial, access ends right away (the trial is offered once). Your data and existing appointments are kept, and you get access back as soon as you resubscribe.

  • Is my Mollie account separate from pbw.life?

    Yes. You connect your own Mollie account via Mollie Connect (an OAuth integration). pbw.life processes payments on your behalf through your account - we do not see balances and have no access to your money. You can disconnect at any time from your Mollie dashboard.

  • What languages does the booking page support?

    The client-facing booking page is available in seven languages: Dutch, English, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and Spanish. You can store your service names and descriptions in multiple languages - pbw.life automatically shows the visitor's language.

  • I'm not in the Netherlands - can I still use pbw.life?

    Wave 1 focuses on the Dutch market with iDEAL as the payment method. If you're outside the Netherlands but within the EU, you can sign up with a "Phase 2 customer" tag - you'll be first in line when we expand to your market. Drop us a line at info@pbw.life.

  • Who pays the Mollie transaction fees?

    Mollie charges its own standard fee, currently €0.32 per iDEAL payment (checked 3 October 2026), and takes it from your Mollie balance. pbw.life adds nothing on top. You see the costs in your Mollie dashboard. Factor this in when setting your deposit amount.

  • What do I get with a founding seat?

    There are 20 founding seats. You get all Solo Pro features for €9/month for the first 12 months from your sign-up date, for 1 specialist. We set up your account together with you on a 20-minute call, so your travel zones, travel fees and deposit policy are ready when we hang up. In return we ask for one 15-minute feedback call per quarter and your feedback in the product. After your founding year your subscription continues on Solo Start (1 specialist, no reports or Pro features, €19/month) unless you choose Solo Pro before that date. Ask for a founding seat with "Request an invite" on this page.

  • When does my founding price end?

    Your founding price of €9/month applies for the first 12 months from your sign-up date. Before your founding year ends you choose Solo Start (no reports or Pro features, €19/month) or Solo Pro (everything you have now, €29/month), both for 1 specialist. Solo Start billed yearly works out to €16.15/month (€193.80 per year). If you do not choose, your subscription moves to Solo Start. We get in touch well in advance so it never comes as a surprise. You can cancel at any time.

  • I work mobile but also from my own studio sometimes - does that work?

    Yes. pbw.life is built first and foremost for mobile beauty professionals who travel to the client - you don't need a fixed salon or premises of your own to get started. If you also work from your own (home) studio, you set per service whether it takes place at the client's home or at your own location. So pbw.life works whether you're fully mobile or do a mix of both.

  • How do the WhatsApp reminders work and what do they cost?

    On Pro plans and Founding, pbw.life sends automatic WhatsApp reminders to your clients. Solo Pro and Founding include 50 reminders a month, Studio Pro 150 and Team Pro 300. After that each reminder costs €0.10, but only if you switch that on yourself; if you do not, sending stops at the included number. Overage is charged separately, once a month. The Start plans do not include WhatsApp reminders.
